Go more than once. - The more I learn about Frank Lloyd Wright, the more I want to learn. The brilliance and complexity of the man and mind are on full display. Our guide, Rick was a mine of information, and was answering questions before I even asked them. Go more than once.

An absolute must see - What an amazing house and studio. A real insight into the man and how he developed over the period he lived in the house. The way the rooms are laid out and access to them is inspiring.

It's an informative tour.... - It's an informative tour. You need to reserve a time AFTER you purchase your tickets. That was confusing.

Amazing home. Very interesting. - We did the 2 PM tour on Wednesday, July 2. It was very interesting to see this home and its design compared to the other Frank Lloyd Wright style homes we have toured. Our tour guide was very informative, allowed us to take all the photos we wanted to. If I had any complaints, it would be that our tour guide was slightly difficult to understand at times. His annunciation tended to not be 100% clear. The gift shop is just like the gift shop at any of the other Frank Lloyd Wright homes if you have visited them. I was hoping for something specific to this home tour, but they did not have it.

FLW House - The tour was thorough and allowed ample time and access to appreciate the home. The interpreter Tom was very knowledgeable and made the tour more enjoyable. The home itself is beautiful and well worth the visit.

The Wright Tour for you - Excellent tour guide who was friendly and happy to answer any and all questions. The house and studio is very well taken care of, and the tour covers all the spaces thoroughly. Down the street in the neighborhood are several other Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes. Great neighborhood to walk around.
